Tensions and loads on a dock or mooring change as tidal surges, wakes, winds and currents change. Shockles® absorb shock loads on mooring lines, making the lines last longer. Putting an end to jarring and snapping at the end of the line makes time aboard more comfortable, too. Shockles® also safely absorb sudden shock loads, such as those at the end of a tow line or created by a dinghy tied on deck or suspended by davits at the stern.

Progressive tension design means the further LineSnubber stretches, the greater its return force. The result is smooth action and moderated stress.

Shockles® are strong, but they need to be rigged in-line so they never bear the full load alone. Six to (150 - 300mm) 12" of slack is recommended. Increase line slack between the attachment loops to a maximum of 300mm (12") as loads increase.

LineSnubber™ has a maximum stretch of 400mm (16") before the line limiter safely stops further stretching.
